DocTalk: Understanding Binge Eating Disorder

Have you ever heard of Binge Eating Disorder?
Binge eating disorder is actually the most common eating disorder and 3 times more common than anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa combined and is just as serious. It can impact individuals of different cultures and ethnicities, shapes and sizes, identities and orientations, cognitive and physical abilities, and socioeconomic levels. Individuals with binge eating disorder may more frequently initially seek support for physical or functional impacts from bingeing behaviors or for issues related to mood or sleep than the disordered eating/bingeing itself.
While individuals with binge eating disorder may often be in larger bodies this is not always the case, and, therefore, weight, shape or appearance is not part of the diagnostic criteria for binge eating disorder.
